Students who wish to repeat Form Six or Form Seven are to be allowed into classrooms, preferably in the school they sat Fiji School Leaving Certificate or Fiji Seventh Form Examiniations last year.
Commenting on students’ desire to repeat, the Minister of Education, Mr Filipe Bole said, “students who failed FSLC examinations last year and wish to repeat this year are to be allowed back into the classrooms. We prefer these students attend the same school they were in last year so they may continue benefitting from all government assistance such as bus fare and textbooks”.
“This is in line with the 12-year period of basic education policy of the Government,” the minister said.
Mr Bole said the ruling also applied to those Form Seven students who failed their examinations last year and wished to repeat this year. Also included in the ruling are those who have passed but wished to improve their marks this year. These students are to be allowed back into their old schools.
However, Form Four students who failed their FJCE last year are to proceed to Form Five without any restrictions.
